1/3 Dewey day. Cold Law, Broadhope Hill, Preston Hill, Hare Hill, Newton Tors and Coldburn Hill from Langleeford. Gale force winds and sodden underfoot added to the feeling of remoteness of this far northern corner of England. 21km in 6h20m. (S) | silveracorn_alan | 06/07/2020 |
cold law, broadhope hill, preston hill from east of langleeford at 95602 22655 | robertphillips | 27/01/2020 |
First top on a twelve mile walk starting from Harthope valley taking in two Dewey's and two county tops. The route was Broadhope hill, Preston hill, The Cheviot, Hangingstone hill and returning via Langleeford. I would not recommend this return in wet weather as it involves many crossing's of Harthope burn if done again I would return over Scald hill and then drop down to the tarmacked road. | WAYNE ROWLETT | 18/11/2019 |

From CP at Harthope along track E of the Hawsen Burn and ridge to summit of Broadhope Kill, then down to the col and steeply up to the summit of Preston Hill. An airy rollercoaster of a walk with great views. On return, I detoured south to avoid reclimbing the top section of Broadhope Hill, which proved to be a heathey mistake, but was rewarded with the chance to watch a peacock butterfly. | Nick Down1 | 27/07/2018 |
Good parking at Harthope 954225. Track up to 377m point then a good track to the summit. Headed to Preston Hill. Solo. | bolton | 15/06/2018 |
Headed up from Langleeford by following the Hawsen Burn. left the burn on a clear track and then followed a path opposite the path to Cold Law. Pass some grouse huts. Kept on the path until it eventually meets up with the fence. Choice of two humps that could've been the top so bagged both them to be safe. Whichever one you stand on, the other looks higher. Continued following the fence to Preston Hill. | NorthernWayfarer | 31/05/2018 |
